Abstract

This study investigated indoor temperature and humidity control and PM1 and PM10 mitigation effects of a single green wall (Case 1), two green walls (Case 2), and two green walls plus a waterfall (Case 3) in comparison with a control without either a green wall or waterfall. Experiments were conducted in the office of Chungbuk National University from August to September, 2015. Experiments were carried out sequentially in the order of control, Case 1, Case 2, and Case 3. Data collected from August 17 to August 20, 2015 (Experiment 1), and from August 31 to September 3, 2015 (Experiment 2), when outdoor temperature was relatively constant, were analyzed. Plant volume ratios by indoor landscaping of the control, Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 were 0.0, 0.6, 1.2, and 1.4%, respectively. Compared to the control, average temperatures of Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 were decreased by 0.3~0.7, 0.7~0.9 and $1.0^{\circ}C$, respectively, and relative humidity was increased by 1.8~8.7, 9.2~14.6 and 14.8~21.9%, respectively. Three hundred minutes after exposure to mosquito repellent incense particles, the ratio of the remaining PM1 of the control, Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 were 25.0, 22.0%, 21.2%, 17.3%, respectively, in Experiment 1 and 42.3, 28.9, 23.1, and 30.9%, respectively, in Experiment 2. As indoor greening increased the effect of indoor temperature, PM1 and PM10 mitigation were greater, and temperature and humidity were lower. The greater the relative humidity was, the faster PM1 and PM10 mitigation tended to be.

연구는 벽면녹화 및 벽천시스템이 없을 때를 대조구로 하여, 벽면녹화시스템 1개(Case 1), 벽면녹화시스템 2개(Case 2), 벽면녹화시스템 2개와 벽천시스템(Case 3)의 4가지 조건별 실내 온 습도 조절 및 입자상 오염물질인 PM1와 PM10 제거효과를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 실험은 충북대학교 내의 사무실에서 2015년 8월부터 9월까지 약 2개월 동안 대조구, Case 1, Case 2, Case 3 순으로 순차적으로 진행하였고, 실험기간 동안 외기온도가 비교적 일정했던 2015년 8월 17~20일(반복 실험 1), 8월 31일~9월 3일(반복 실험 2)의 데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다. 실내조경 설치에 따른 식물의 용적비는 대조구, Case 1, Case 2, Case 3이 각각 0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.4%였다. 대조구와 비교하여 Case 1, Case 2, Case 3의 평균온도는 각각 0.3~0.7, 0.7~0.9, $1.0^{\circ}C$가 감소되었으며, 평균상대습도는 각각 1.8~8.7, 9.2~14.6, 14.8~21.9%로 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 오염원 주입 후 300분이 경과하였을 때, 대조구, Case 1, Case 2, Case 3의 PM1 잔존비율은 반복 실험 1의 경우에는 각각 25.0, 22.0, 21.2, 17.3%이었으며, 반복 실험 2에서는 42.3, 28.9, 23.1, 30.9%로 나타났다. PM10 잔존비율은 반복 실험1에서는 각각 13.8, 10.8, 12.5, 9.2%이었으며, 반복 실험 2에서는 각각 24.5, 15.3, 12.6, 14.8%로 나타났다. 실내녹화 면적이 증가함에 따라 실내 온도와 PM1, PM10의 저감효과는 컸으며, 습도는 온도와 음(-)의 상관관계를 보였다. PM1과 PM10은 상대습도가 높을수록 빨리 감소되는 경향을 보였다.
